The Dark Knight | Bank Robbery Prologue
It’s Valentines Day and if you believe in love at first sight then love at first listen shouldn’t be too much of a stretch. It’s truly amazing the impression the first few seconds of a film can leave you with. Just take my previous Batman related Score Your Week as an example. I’ll never forget seeing The Dark Knight in theaters for the first time. It ranks up there with the Star Wars Prequels and Lord of the Rings on my most anticipated films list easily. So, as I sat waiting for the picture to roll I couldn’t help but wonder how it would begin, even if the IMAX prologue had already been released to promote the movie.

Episode 36 of the Filmdogs Podcast is here and just in time for awards season!

Plus, in our Featured Topic we weed through the recent Oscar Nominations and issue verdicts as to what the Academy got right and what they got terribly wrong.

Scene Stealer | “American Psycho” Business Card Scene
I have to return some videotapes...
This week on Scene Stealer, I wanted to share a more comical scene from the film American Psycho. GO!
Scene Stealer | The Dark Knight – Interrogation Scene
Christian Bale and Heath Ledger in 2008's "The Dark Knight"
Scene Stealer is new column that will be bringing you a classic, iconic, or just plain awesome movie scene as often as possible. Since Christoper Nolan’s much anticipated film Inception is released this Friday I figured his filmography would be a good place to start. However, most of the iconic scenes in Nolan’s pictures involve heavy spoilers due the plot twists in those stories. So, I had somewhat of a hard time picking today’s first showcase.
The natural solution was as clear as day in the end though. While Memento may be Nolan’s most individual work The Dark Knight is his most successful. Not only because of the classic characters, but the pathos in which they were written, preformed, and directed. Therefore, what scene in the film is the both the centerpiece of the story and the culmination of both Batman and The Joker’s ideals? The Interrogation Scene. Read the rest of this entry »
Casting Updates from Bale, Law, Scre4m & Glee
Christian Bale and Zach Synder
Word is that Christian Bale is set to star in The Last Photograph, with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo director Sergey Bodrov set to helm the picture. The idea for the story apparently comes from Zach Synder (300, Watchmen) and is described as follows:
[the plot] revolves around a photograph that becomes the catalyst for a journey two men undertake through war-torn Afghanistan.
Bale will follow up the film with the next picture from director Terrence Malick (The Thin Red Line, A New World) supposedly a love story. Javier Bardem, Rachel McAdams, and Olga Kurylenko are said to co-star. Read the rest of this entry »
The Filmdogs Podcast: Episode 6 – Podcast Balboa
The sixth episode of The Filmdogs Podcast is here and it’s our zaniest yet. We give our final thoughts on this years slightly underwhelming Oscars, and talk about the possibility of Bill and Ted 3 in the news. It’s a Grindhouse double feature in Vs. as we pit Planet Terror and Death Proof against one another. Our featured topic of the week…A@%hole directors and actors. Then we have an absolute classic one liner of the week from an old Bogart film. No animals were harmed in the making of this podcast, however we did tend to swear a little more than usual. It’s Michael Bay and Brett Ratner’s fault.
